Also, as you've said, the 2018 Tour was a 50th Anniversary Tour. Crowded House, Split Enz, and Tom Petty songs had no relevance in a setlist presenting the 50 Years of Fleetwood Mac's recordings.

It’s absolutely spin. You’re trying to differentiate Fleetwood Mac playing works that a member recorded outside of Fleetwood Mac when it’s the exact same thing.

Fleetwood Mac has been doing that since Christine joined the band.

When Mick did that interview in 2017, he said he’s always felt Lindsey and Stevie should be doing a Buckingham Nicks som and Christine a blues song, so even with it being Fleetwood Mac’s 50th Anniversary, it was never etched in stone that that’s all they were going to be playing. Fleetwood Mac has never been that rigid.

How is it spin when it is true that when members of FM performed external works in an FM setlist, those members had performed or made new music with Fleetwood Mac?

You're denying a fact.

Was it planned as a 50 Year Anniversary Tour when Lindsey was still attached to the tour?

But the difference with Mick wanting a BN song and Christine doing one of her recordings is that Chris, Stevie, and Lindsey made albums in FM. So it's part of the story of the band. Mike and Neil joined a band with no new music to play. It's not Mike and Neil's fault.

Yes. They had the comp coming out.

What about when Dave Mason was in the band? Time was released after they’d completed their tour dates?

It was released after the tour but they played Time songs in the setlist with Dave.

Extended Play wasn't released until 2 weeks plus after the first 2013 show, but FM did the new songs Sad Angel and Without You before the release any way.

I don’t know about ya’ll, but for the past fifteen years every Fleetwood Mac show I’ve attended, I was really expecting them to play “Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the news. I was shocked that it didn’t happen. What gives, if they do Stand Back they should be doing Huey Lewis too. Right!?

They would have played it if he was in the band.

I was upset they didn't play Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me" at The Garden in 2019!
